Next Gen

Just been knocked out AET to Sporting Lisbon in the Quarter Finals: 1-2 @ HT, went up to 1-3 at 65 mins, got it back to 3-3 for FT with Sporting getting another 2 in the first half of ET. Sounds like an exciting match, and there's no shame in getting knocked out at this stage to Lisbon. Wish I'd gone along, it was at the O's ground and only a fiver.

Interestingly (well, I think...) English teams gone through are Chelsea and Aston Villa(!), with Arsenal to play theirs next week.

Future's looking bright for our young'uns: there's this, we're leading the 'Elite Group' U21 League by 4 points (in second are Man U), and have 9 players in U21 or lower international teams (U21s: 1 Germany, 1 Scotland, 4 England, 2 U19s and 1 U17s), including this in training from Tommy Carroll (wonder goal's pushing it, but it's a good'un): http://www.givemefootball.com/335961-video-tottenham-star-scores-training-ground-wonder-goal-on-england-u21-duty
